Sometimes I see full canvas being free on their custom page, sometimes not. Is it just a random promo?

Yes. They have offered it a few times in the past few months.

how does slim compare with suit supply havana?

Haven't tried S&M's pants yet, so can't say. But given that so many brands are already pretty tailored, or tapered, I tend not to go slim because I find it is always too tight (unless I hear from multiple sources that the brand runs big).

In my experience with S&M's jackets, their contemporary jacket fits me very similarly to my Suit Supply havana jackets.

hahaha so true. I have a pair of cream cotton from last year with some dirty splotches on them

I know you know that's a hazard to be embraced. I'm resolved to wear white jeans* all winter in the cozy brown snow.

*With various SM winter-weight jackets.

how does the cream color compare to last year undyed white, which I have? Pretty close ? or worth having both?

here’s a side by side. I’d say the cream has a bit more warm tones in real life.

Any recommendations from the current MTO offerings for a FW navy wool sportcoat? I live in Houston right now and want something w a softer hand, and the warmth and loft of flannel. What are yall eyeing? Don't want something too dark but close to navy, and solid (a tonal herringbone or Donegal is acceptable and perhaps ideal).

These are on my shortlist - any opinions?

Some of the navy Moon fabrics look nearly black online, which is why I overlooked them.

On the topic of choosing MTO fabrics, they should really consider offering fabric samples. It's nearly impossible to navigate the selection online and get a good idea of what they actually look like. Some of them have pics of finished jackets, but I've noticed the same pics used for several different fabrics so that can't be trusted either. Being so unsure about fabrics is the main reason why I've held off on several orders.

It Arrived Today, Green Hornet...

Tie Is A Muted Green, With (35) Conmp Trouser - Straight (36) Conmp Trouser - Cuff

This Is One Bad-Ass Suit!

Looks like you have really nailed your fit! Good on you.

If one were to nitpick at all, I would say, left sleeve on both jackets could come up 1-1.5 cm, and (just judging by the pics posted) the DB could stand a slight take in in the waist and skirt (from waist to bottom of jacket) Neither of these things are crucial. Fits look really good on both the sport coat and suit.

Thanks for the feedback sir. My left shirt sleeve looked shorter probably due to my bulky watch lol.

Where did you get your hat(s)? You have nice hats in all your posts.

Wow this is such a stealthy deal. The color looks fab and at this price for MTO this is a steal. I don't think S&M has ever done a RTW in this cloth?
